The Tie Breaker Family Aquatic Center is set to open to the community following a yearlong closure due to COVID-19, a little later in the year but with new amenities to enjoy.
According to a news release, the opening will be delayed until June 18 not because of the pandemic, but due to delays on materials and contracts concerning work on the lazy river. Parks and Recreation Superintendent Tab Brockman says, “We are excited to be opening Tie Breaker at all this summer after a year of closure due to COVID. The downside is the final work on the lazy river is taking longer than anticipated. The good news is the delayed opening gives us three more weeks to get on the other side of COVID restrictions and a better chance to open with limited restrictions.”
Tie Breaker Family Aquatic Center will open this summer, but the opening will be delayed until mid-June.
The Hopkinsville Parks and Recreation Department announced Tuesday the popular aquatic center will open for its 15th season on June 18. The water park traditionally opens Memorial Day weekend but did not open last summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The park received good news Monday when Governor Andy Beshear ended the statewide outdoor mask mandate for venues of less than 1,000 people.
Visitors to the water park will see two changes which will include a new concessionaire and improved lazy area features. The Snack Attack concessions area will now be operated by Brenda West, who will be offering traditional items and some of her tasty favorites many will recognize from her Ruff Park concession stand.
